There are many approaches to surgical correction of uterine and vaginal prolapse. For vaginal prolapse, a procedure known as sacrocolpopexy is considered the gold standard approach. This is surgery has been performed for years with an "open" surgery technique.
Dr. Arrington uses robotic assisted surgery to perform sacrocolpopexy in a minimally invasive fashion. Instead of a 3-4 day hospital stay, most patients are able to return home the next day after this complex surgery. The surgery is performed through small 1 cm incisions but mimics the same technique used with the established open surgery fashion.
A description of minimally invasive surgical procedures for gynecologic surgery. You will be able to learn about your options for surgery. Laparoscopy is surgery through small one centimeter incisions. There is no need for large, painful incisions. Many surgeries are considered "Out Patient". Laparoscopy allows a less painful, quicker recovery through incisions covered by only a bandaid.

This site offers a discussion of available minimally invasive options for treatment of common gynecologic problems. Patients are always presented with available medical and surgical options for management. Even observation is presented when it is appropriate. I also include discussion of options that are available that I may not offer.
